Fitsi Health is excited to be a part of the 2018 Healthcare Infection Transmission Systems (HITS) Consortium in Nashville, Tennessee. Fitsi was recently named one of the Top Innovations of 2018 by The Infection Prevention Strategy and will be featured at the 2018 HITS “Catalyst for Change” Conference.

The Healthcare Infections Transmission System (HITS) Consortium looks to promote public health by reducing healthcare-associated infections through the integration of best infection prevention practices. HITS will focus on the major pathogen transmission systems in the healthcare setting specifically; surfaces, person to person, water and air. Join us for this one-of-a-kind, multimodal event where researchers and experts from across disciplines will work toward identifying research gaps and applying data-driven methods in the field. Meet, greet and share ideas with the individuals and organizations who are growing and sustaining the industry, as we explore creative and innovative solutions to this global problem.

How is HITS different?

Our conference theme is Catalyst for Change. Fittingly, HITS will take a holistic perspective to targeting healthcare associated infections. The conference looks to focus on “hospital health.” By including multiple disciplines in the conversation, HITS looks to remove silos and encourage a systems approach, aligning with infection prevention.

The 5th Annual World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit will bring together international leaders from hospitals, medical and information technology companies, the patient advocacy community, public policy makers and government officials to discuss solutions to the leading challenges that cause preventable patient death in hospitals.

The 2017 Summit will feature keynote addresses from leading political figures and patient safety experts, plenary sessions with healthcare luminaries, members of the press and patient advocates, as well as announcements from organizations making their own commitments to ZERO preventable deaths by 2020 (0X2020).

Fitsi will be with the leaders of healthcare organizations, the patient advocacy community, and public policy makers to discuss solutions to the leading challenges causing preventable deaths in hospitals.

Fitsi Co-Founder Kathleen Puri and Director of Product Design John Ekholm will be speaking about Innovation and Need Based Design at the Patient Centered Design Innovation Summit in Charleston, South Carolina.
